Wanted to add more items to the list, but I wanted to discuss items that would be awesome products for the survivalist that will not break the bank.

The Friendly Swede Adjustable Premium Paracord Bracelet with Fire Starter and Sharp Eye Knife

http://survivalgeartools.com/product/the-friendly-swede-adjustable-premium-paracord-bracelet-with-fire-starter-and-sharp-eye-knife/

A 3-in-1 survival kit:

* Paracord Bracelet

* 17.5 ft (5.3 m) of 500lb paracord

* Important thing in this is that it is ONE SOLID piece of paracord

* The bracelet is also adjustable from 7-9” Wrists

* Flint and steel firestarter

* The toggle is flint

* The loop is steel

* A knife

* The loop has an almost razor knife attached to it

* Not a survival knife, or even a good pocket knife, but can cut rope if you found yourself tied up

Lifetime warranty

It is double strung, so it is really big.

* About the size of a small belt in width

* Not for small people, unless you like bulky bracelets
